for the presentation
before building your
slides.
Presentation Length: 5 -
20 min (Ideally less than
30 min.).
Audio narration per

master?

7. Why Use Slide Master?
Slide Master
Each time you apply a new theme to your slides, a slide master
appears in the background.
It stores information about the theme such as font style, colors,
effects, placeholder size, text alignment, and more.
The slide master allows you to easily make changes to all slides or
a specific slide layout.
For i-lecture publication:
The navigation title will be
updated

8. Before you record your narration, prepare your script, your
microphone and your environment.
Recording Narration 4
Decide which slides you want to narrate, and plan
what you're going to say for each one.
Get a good microphone and connect it to your PC.
Choose a quiet, enclosed environment where
background noise won't botch your audio quality.
Demo: Recording Narration

9. Adding Annotation 5
Demo: Adding Annotation
How Annotations Work?
Presenter's annotation
tool works a little like a
screen recorder.
While you record or
play back your audio
narration, Presenter
captures the onscreen
annotations you apply,
in time with your
narration.
You decide exactly
when and where the
annotations appear.

10. By publishing your slides, you
will be able to listen to the
narration, do the
interactivities and also
attempt the quizzes.
You may preview your i-
lecture before you publish it.

Importing & Editing Audio
• You can import your audio for one or several slides in
your course.
• Your recorded audio is too slow? Don’t worry. If the
sound of your recorded narration is too slow, or
suddenly too loud, it can be edited by using the
Audio Editor.
